I am a science communicator with Saturday Morning Astrophysics(SMAP) at Purdue. I am a teaching assistant in monthly in SMAP lessons where we present topics to middle and high school students and delve deep into them via discussions and demos. In Spring 2023, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Medellín, Colombia and teach high school students at AstroCamp 2023. Dave Sederberg (faculty), Alan Wright (Master's student), Mariana Aguilar (undergraduate), and I lectured and led many experiments with the students. To teach the physics behind supernovae, I had students perform the Galilean Canon drop, and to demonstrate how supernovae are affected by their environments, students made spice remnants (which is similar to this phenomenon).

As a student at the University of Arizona, I worked at the Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium. I was a science center interpreter and a plantarium operator, educating the public via Flandrau's many interdisciplinary exhibits and via star talks and many planetarium shows.
